The Redskins have cut wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth, a league source told PFT on Monday.

The 32-year-old Stallworth re-joined the Redskins in June after previous stints with New England (2012, 2007), Washington (2011), Baltimore (2010), Cleveland (2008), Philadelphia (2006) and New Orleans (2002 through 2005). He caught two passes in Washington’s first preseason game but was also hampered with a hamstring injury.

Stallworth has hauled in 321 passes for 4,837 yards and 35 touchdowns since entering the NFL with the Saints more than a decade ago. At this stage of his career, Stallworth’s experience and speed could be attributes that get him a look from another club seeking to improve its reserve spots at wideout.

Stallworth must feel like a million bucks today. He won’t have to play for that joke of a franchise any longer. R-Words don’t even have a QB to get him the ball. He can now sit back and collect welfare like all the R-Words fans.

The facts are he was slightly above the legal limit when someone on a dark street bolted from a dark sidewalk between two cars, right in front of him. This charge does not go away by paying a family. The DA must proceed. He passed all of the filed sobriety tests and blew a little over the limit. The objective DA, saw that this could happen to anyone. Stallworth also stayed and tried to revive the guy, and that’s what he was still doing when the cops and ambulance showed up. It is silly to pretend he was not in control of his vehicle, the DA found that.

The charge “went away” by paying the family because his payoff of the family induced them to tell the sentencing judge that they were comfortable with his serving only 27 days. The judge placed great weight on the family being comfortable in agreeing to 27 days. And he wasn’t exactly “a little over the limit.” He blew a 12.8 which is more than 60% over the legal limit in in Florida. And the manslaughter occurred in mid-March, around 7:30 in the morning. Having lived in Florida for most of my life I can tell you it’s plenty light at that time of day in mid-March
